As someone who writes automated tests for wireless routers that stress the hell out of the linux wifi stack, I would highly reccomend going with an Intel based wifi card.

The Centrino 6300N is a beautiful 3x3 card with 5ghz support and has been rock solid especially compared to broadcom or ralink chipsets.

I would love to see this chipset in a desktop package but sadly, there isn't a real good solution.

Cradlepoint is going to allow you to have multiple WAN ports on devices with multiple ethernet ports on their newer products in a future firmware update. I'd recommend the MBR95. That should allow the OP to do what he wants to do.

But...why would you do such a thing? Nevermind the fact that Java is broken in so many ways.

I don't *hate* java, I use it every day in my work, but why can't they just say "We're breaking the JVM for this release so we can implement proper generics without the type erasure hack"

I suppose it wouldn't be so bad if the compiler handled them properly, but ArrayList != ArrayList, I don't care what happens during compilation.

Actually, you have to authenticate with Battle.net once every 30 days or so to keep offline mode offline.

Which I think is a stupid decision on Blizzard's part. I'd really like to see them only require online access once, otherwise offline mode is just a waste.

I get asked to moderate all the time, and I almost NEVER post.
It's all decided by magic!
